lyrics

It's Christmas time
The clock strikes twelve
And the drinks count nine
Sit alone, all snug a-home
It's not lonely on my own
Like a comet flies
Cross the winter skies

Like the pissing sun
Doesn't warm the shade, nor
Shine on everyone
Lie a-bed, but there's no dread
To be solitary, it's wrongly said
That the soul's warmth dies
Like a comet flies

The gentle dreamers wait
Today is one day and the rules don't state
How things should be, instead
I'm happy in my head

It's Christmas time
The clock strikes one
And the memory is mine
Once a child, before the weight
Of happy days grew loud, and late
As they pass me by
Like a comet flies
